Many readers have different opinions on whether the top master in "The Swordsman" is Feng Qingyang, the senior swordsman of the Huashan Sect, or Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect.

1. Feng Qingyang; 2. Dongfang Bubai

Many readers have different opinions on whether the top master in "Swordsman" is Feng Qingyang, the senior of the Huashan Sword Sect, or Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. , the debate continues. Mr. Jin Yong also deliberately avoided this problem. The two peerless masters only appeared once in the book and never played against each other. Feng Qingyang passed the "Nine Swords of Dugu" to Linghu Chong and then drifted away. The battle between Dongfang Invincible and Heimuya also ended sadly.

The "Dugu Nine Swords" practiced by Feng Qingyang can defeat all the swordsmanship in the world. It pays attention to striking after the attack, which is very close to the state of "win with no moves but with one move". Dongfang Invincible's "Sunflower Collection" has extremely fast moves, which perfectly interprets the martial arts concept that "the only martial arts in the world that cannot be broken is fast." Linghu Chong, Ren Woxing, and Xiang Wentian combined could not stop Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needle. In the opinion of "Shishu Lingxuan Pavilion", Feng Qingyang is stronger, for two reasons.

The first reason is that Linghu Chong's "Nine Swords of Dugu" only took about two or three years of practice, which is far behind Feng Qingyang, who has decades of attainments. During the battle at Blackwood Cliff, although Linghu Chong couldn't defeat Dongfang Bubai, he was able to force Dongfang Bubai to change his tactics and retreat with his win-lose style of play. If Linghu Chong dares to fight with the courage to die together, Dongfang Bubai may not be able to suppress him.

When Feng Qingyang passed on the sword to Linghu Chong, he bluntly said that Linghu Chong would have to practice hard for another twenty years before he could become a master of swordsmanship. If Feng Qingyang takes action, Dongfang Bubai can remain "undefeated". The second reason is that Dongfang Bubai's character changed drastically after practicing the Sunflower Book, and he did not possess the basic qualities of a martial arts master. Feng Qingyang has been living in seclusion for many years. His mind is clear and clear, and he is not stuck in things. He is more able to concentrate when facing the enemy in battle. Dongfang Bubai was mentally unstable when facing an enemy in battle, and just one Yang Lianting made him uneasy. Dongfang Bubai, who had concerns in his heart, was greatly reduced in strength, far inferior to the cold-blooded and ruthless Dongfang Bubai.

3. Master Fang Zheng; 4. Taoist Chongxu

Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu are the leaders of the Shaolin and Wudang sects in "Swordsman". In the original work of "The Swordsman", although the Five Mountains Sword Sect has risen strongly, the martial arts world is dominated by Shaolin and Wudang. Although the Wuyue Sword Sect has a great name and seems to have a large number of people, it has too few top-notch masters. Except for Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, none of the second-generation disciples of the dignified Huashan Sect can fight. The same is true for Hengshan, Hengshan and Taishan sects, only Songshan sect is better.

Master Fang Zheng's overall strength is stronger than Taoist Master Chongxu, and his martial arts are also more comprehensive. His palm skills, light skills, sword skills, and internal skills can all make him lose his temper. In addition, the "Star Absorbing Technique" that Ren Woxing relies on most is actually invalid for the opponent's evidence and cannot absorb any internal energy.

The Wudang Sect has a profound foundation, and its number of superb martial arts is second only to Shaolin. Taoist Master Chongxu is the master of Wudang. He is especially good at swordsmanship. His "Tai Chi Sword" that can produce sword light in one hand stands out among the others. Linghu Chong once had a short-term contest with Taoist Chongxu. In Linghu Chong's eyes, Taoist Chongxu's "Tai Chi Sword" shone brightly and had no flaws. Therefore, he never made any move, and Dugu Nine Swords could not exert its power.

5. Linghu Chong; 6. Let Me Go

Some readers always say that Zhang Wuji doesn’t feel strong and is not worthy of his peerless martial arts. In fact, the overall feeling of Linghu Chong is not as good as Zhang Wuji, and he does not have much suppressive power over the world in the book. Linghu Chong was a great disciple of the Huashan Sect. Under the guidance of Yue Buqun, he became proficient in the Huashan Swordsmanship, but he could only be considered a second-rate master. Later, Mr. Jin Yong gave him a break and learned the three top martial arts of Dugu Nine Swords, Star Absorbing Dafa and Yi Jin Jing. Only then did he reach the rank of top martial arts masters.

Linghu Chong's shortcomings are very obvious. He only knows swordsmanship and relies too much on weapons. If his sword was taken away or broken, Linghu Chong probably wouldn't be able to defeat Ren Woxing. Compared with Linghu Chong, Ren Woxing is a typical martial arts all-rounder, with high attainments in palm skills, sword skills, internal skills, and light skills. In the battle at Meizhuang in the original work of "The Swordsman", Ren Woxing had not fought against anyone for more than ten years, but he was able to withstand more than fifty moves from Linghu Chong's "Dugu Nine Swords".If you put aside the buggy martial art of Dugu Nine Swords, Linghu Chong is no match for Ren Woxing. It's a pity that Linghu Chong is the protagonist and has learned the Dugu Nine Swords, so his martial arts is especially superior to Ren Wo Xing.

7. Yue Buqun; 8. Zuo Lengchan

If we put aside the "evil-proofing sword technique", Zuo Lengchan's martial arts qualifications and martial arts cultivation are obviously better than Yue Buqun. Yue Buqun had always wanted the Huashan Sect to take the lead. The reason why he had held back for many years and did not dare to reveal it was because he knew he could not defeat Zuo Lengchan. There has always been a saying in the world that "boxes come from Shaolin, swords come from Huashan", but Zuo Lengchan relied on his martial arts talent to improve Songshan swordsmanship, and created exquisite sword moves such as Wanyue Chaozong, Eternal Human Dragon, and Tianwai Jade Dragon. , making the Songshan School's swordsmanship come from behind and surpass the Huashan School's swordsmanship.

In addition, Zuo Lengchan's Ice Qi is also a unique internal skill in the book. It can be beaten until Ren Wo Xing holds his breath, and he will not dare to use the star-absorbing method to deal with Zuo Lengchan. Yue Buqun, who possesses Huashan's unique skill "Purple Cloud Divine Art" and uses Zuo Lengchan's two moves of "Ice Divine Palm", can no longer hold on. After Yue Buqun mastered the "evil-proofing sword technique" with unparalleled speed, Zuo Lengchan failed and could not keep up with Yue Buqun's speed. The Five Sacred Sword Sects gathered in Songshan Mountain, and Yue Buqun used evil-fighting sword skills on the Fengchan platform to blind Zuo Lengchan.

9. Lin Pingzhi; 10. The Buddhist monk

Lin Pingzhi, the son of Fuwei Escort Agency. Lin Pingzhi has been practicing seventy-two evil-proofing sword techniques since he was a child. Unfortunately, his moves are mediocre. Even his father cannot defeat the second-generation disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. After becoming a disciple of Huashan, Lin Pingzhi's martial arts still stalled due to his limited qualifications. Later, he tried his best to steal the evil-repelling sword manual from Yue Buqun. He was ruthless and gritted his teeth and practiced swordplay in his palace. Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng were both quasi-first-class masters in the world, but they were chased and beaten by Lin Pingzhi, and they both died in Lin Pingzhi's hands.

The tenth master, the author considered Xiang Wentian, the Zuo envoy of the Sun and Moon God Sect, but after much consideration, he chose Tian Boguang's master instead of a monk. Monk Bujie is completely "wild", and his unrivaled martial arts skills come from nowhere. As soon as Monk Bujie appeared, he had a few moves with Yue Buqun. Monk Bujie threw out two shoes and knocked the sword out of Yue Buqun's hand. Moreover, Monk Bujie also said: "I spent a lot of energy treating your son-in-law's injuries today. This long sword actually flew halfway before falling. It should have flown to your son-in-law's master and landed two feet in front of him, scaring him." Big jump! "

Yue Buqun is a very face-saving person, but he does not dare to take action against Monk Bujie easily. Therefore, Monk Bujie's martial arts should still be above Xiang Wentian's.
